We connect consumers to the content they love, enable content publishers to build and monetize large audiences, and provide advertisers unique capabilities to engage consumers. About the team Ad Product Strategy & Operations (PS&O) is a hybrid strategy and execution function within Roku’s Ad Product organization. We partner with product managers and cross-functional teams to accelerate decision-making, ensure launch readiness, and operationalize product strategy across Roku’s advertising portfolio. The team sits at the intersection of product development and business enablement. Our focus is on driving clarity, scalability, and alignment across initiatives, from roadmap planning through launch execution.

About the role We're looking for a PS&O Lead with a performance advertising background to drive product strategy through market analysis, competitive intelligence, and go-to-market execution for Roku's growing performance advertising business. You'll develop and operationalize scalable frameworks to unlock revenue growth across our performance and growth advertising portfolio, ensuring tight alignment across product, sales, and legal teams.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role. You'll operate with autonomy, move fast, and own the commercialization and triage work that determines whether Roku's performance advertising platform becomes a must-buy for growth marketers.
